My youngest daughter, Alycia, has a close friend who is having a baby! Alycia is going to be the Godmother - she is sooo excited. Well we all know that one of the GM's duties is to host a baby shower. Since this was her first she elicited my help.
The theme she picked out was zoo animals, with a blue and green color palette. We started out by buying a digital package online from a favorite vendor - JessicaSprague.com . This collection included both papers and elements. Using my new Silhouette Portrait it was really easy to throw together a few things. Good thing too; she only gave me a couple days to get it done.
We started with the invitations -
I used several different techniques including window cutouts, embellishing with glitter and Glossy Accents, and of course, machine stitching. (I've said it before, and I will say it again - I LOVE dimension!)
Next she needed some decor, so I made some pinwheels to use along with the balloons as centerpieces on the tabletops. While I was at it, I decided to whip out a small banner too!
Alycia even tried her hand at diaper creations! Aren't they cute?
Lastly, I made a few party favors. Just little pouches which we filled with M&M's.
The party was yesterday and guess what happened this morning?

Hi Shelley,
I can't believe you've only been paper-crafting for a couple months!!! The baby shower invitations, pinwheels, garland….everything look fantastic!!! Alycia did a great job on the diaper creations, too!
Congratulations to Alycia on her beautiful new Godson! What an honor to be chosen to be Nehemiah's Godmother. I'm glad he waited to arrive until after the shower!!! Wishing Nehemiah a lifetime filled with Peace, Love and Joy.
Peace, Love and Joy,
